Mission Statement
Feeding Canadian Kids is an officially registered Canadian charity committed to relieving poverty by feeding children nutritious dinners.
About This Cause
Feeding Canadian Kids is dedicated to eradicating child food insecurity across Canada by ensuring consistent access to nutritious evening meals for children in underserved communities. Since our inception, we have provided over 175,000 healthy meals to children in need. However, over 1.8 million children in Canada still live in food-insecure households, where regular, nutritious meals are not guaranteed, leading to various negative impacts on their physical health, cognitive development, and emotional well-being. While some programs address the need for breakfast and lunch, the gap in support during the critical evening hours remains largely unaddressed. Feeding Canadian Kids steps in to fill this void by focusing on the provision of healthy dinners. We do this by partnering with local restaurants, caterers and corporate volunteer groups, who donate health, kid-friendly dinners to after school programs in their own areas. In January 2025, we will launch a cutting-edge meal-pairing technology platform designed to bridge the gap between food donors and after-school programs, in marginalized communities, nationwide. Developed in partnership with the University of Waterloo’s Blueprint Initiative, this platform will streamline the connection between meal providers—such as corporate volunteer groups and food donors—and after-school programs across Canada, ensuring that thousands of food-insecure children receive nutritious dinners regularly. Our goal is to provide over a minimum of 75,000 meals each year to approximately 5,000 children, significantly enhancing their well-being and academic performance. By addressing the immediate need for food, Feeding Canadian Kids also contributes to breaking the cycle of poverty and hunger that affects so many families across Canada. Our purpose extends beyond just feeding children; we aim to foster a nurturing environment where children can thrive. Reliable access to nutritious meals is fundamental to a child’s development, and we believe that every child, regardless of their socio-economic background, deserves the chance to go to bed with a full stomach. This initiative not only provides immediate relief but also sets the stage for long-term, sustainable improvement in the lives of the children and communities we serve. Our deep community ties, commitment to reducing child hunger, and partnerships with technology experts make Feeding Canadian Kids uniquely equipped to lead this vital work.
